Just so everyone knows, it was faked. They took an image of a guillotine being moved to a museum and added protesters around it

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

There are 6 of them, and the yellow jackets are only relevant there. Before you pointed I didn't notice they are protesters.

I just assumed they were people working around moving and assembling the thing.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 7 points 2 days ago

You are correct. The people were here, they just had no yellow vest. The yellow vest was the symbol of protesters

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 days ago

France only stopped using the guillotine for capital punishment 50 years ago. I'm guessing there is some basement somewhere full of still maintained "prison equipment"

[-] tino@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

I'm so glad to be born the year this abomination was abolished in my country. Only fascists/populists wish the death penalty should be brought back in France.

Only fascists/populists wish the death penalty should be brought back in France.

Or, you know, the masses who want to give the fascists what they deserve. But keep playing nice with them, that worked last time, right? Right??

... and death rows in the world are full of billionnaires and corrupt politicians, Right??

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Who said this was for people death row?? The masses can use it for the billionaires themselves

Does it count if I've seen the Les Mis musical five or six times?

"Look at me im tino I love being bent over and fucked up the arse"

[-] tino@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

"Look, I'm a badass anarchist hidden behind my screen using homophobic rhetoric to prove my point"

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

I never said being a bottom was negative. Being fucked up the arse is great, it's just weird when you're willingly letting your government do it.

just a dance around the pole de joseph-ignace

Routine Maintenance. No one enjoys the blunt blade going over and over on the neck.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I watched a guy test a bunch of blade designs. Trust me, the mess of a stuck blade can ruin an entire day of beheading.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Agreed. The frustration is hardly worth the overtime. Especially when you're trying to free a wobbly, dull blade wedged between two vertebrae and a poorly-planed drop channel. The anxiety of the crowd is only satiated by the agony of the condemned.

[-] homes@piefed.world 7 points 2 days ago

Be glad the things you don’t see every day

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Ah, yes. A welcome return! Plenty of scum today for the chopping block.

~~I'm impressed that they have kept it legal to possess a functional guillotine~~
